About the Band
Bio
Miners and Gardeners is a musical act led by Dan Moriarty, an indie folk songwriter based in Minneapolis, MN.
Starting in 2021, Moriarty began to release a number of self-produced recordings from his home studio, inspired by the space between indie rock and folk. Think REM, Death Cab for Cutie, Band of Horses, and The National, as well as classic acts like the Go-Betweens.
Miners and Gardeners songs blend raw vocals alongside expansive arrangements, introspective lyrics and quiet waves of sound that occasionally roar and bite.
In 2024, Moriarty begin to perform his songs live, often through solo, acoustic performances, and occasionally with guests on guitar, violin, bass and percussion.
His work can be found on Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Spotify, YouTube and other online accounts, including minersandgardeners.com. Contact us for booking inquiries or press.
